ABOUT/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////ABOUT/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////ABOUT/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Hey, I’m Sam.
I’m an award winning Senior Art and Creative Director from Dublin.
In the 15+ years I’ve been doing this I’ve made everything from above the line, to below the line, to integrated campaigns that blur the line for clients like Heineken, Tesco, Orchard Thieves, Dublin Airport, Aer Lingus, Apple & Warner Music, Barnardos, Renault, and EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum. Not to mention AIB, ESB, GNI, IRFU, FBD and a bunch of other acronyms I’ve forgotten.
My work has helped open the world to Chinese New Year, beat the All Blacks, launched Paul Mescal’s carreer, won some Olympic gold, treated kids with speech impediments, given billboards and cats a [snarky] voice and deliberately enraged the cultural sensibilities of our proud nation for a good cause [apols].
What’s next is up to you.
